The Work Of an Editor.

A large part of the labor Of the editorial
office is to collect and prepare news, and
to select from manuscript contributions
and the literature of the day what it is
supposed will be interesting and profit
able to the readers. 1t is not the duty o1
the editor to express an opinion one every
topic demanding public attention; but to
keep his readers well-informed in regard
current questions, and to encourage them
to form impartial judgments. Least Of
all is it the duty ofa responsible journal to
keep silence on those questions which
his readers may not see in the same light
that he does. Indeed it is the first duty
ofiournalism of the higher kind to keep
itself from partisanship of every kind.
Therefore, it is frequently called upon to
express opinions contrary to those enter
tained by large number Of the matjorit
of the readers. The points Of differences
are commonly on few questions only,
and generally on those which are apt to
be decided by impulse and feeling. A
few readers pass hasty judgment upon
the editor and condemn, and sometimes
express their indignation freely, without
considering that they are as apt to be
mistaken as the editor who makes no
profession Of infallibility. The question
should be rather, Is he honest in forming
his opinions; is he under the influence OF
personal or selfish considerations? 1t is
probable that he has moro independent
position, and has no other ambition than
to render the highest possible service to
his readers.-CentrdI Christian -4dUocatc.

jealous to think Of Tom getting mar
ried. But then I suppose twins are al
ways more attached to each other than
brothers and sisters" And two years
later at TOMS wedding she said with
girlish vivacity to the wedding guests

he thinks of it to-night?"

AND FARM.
Stale Bread.

a great deal of bread is thrown away
by those who can ill afford it, from
lack of knowledge how to utilize it.
On the farm, in most instances, of
course, stale bread is not wholly lost,
for if wet 4 little it makes good food
for the poultry, or may he given to
pigs, but this is not the best way to
make use of it even by those who have
poultry and pigs. There are many
ways to utilize stale bread. 1t makes
delicious griddle-cakes when soaked
in cold water. Three small slices with
water enough to cover them should be
sufficient, when the milk and flour are
added, to make two quarts of batter.
Some prefer to put in one egg, while
others like them fully as well without.
When the bread is soaked soft, make
iI fine with spoon, add the milk and
sufficient flour to stiffen enough SO
that the cakes can be easier turned.
If sour milk is used add to the batter
one even tablespoonful of soda. If
you do not use sour milk use twice as
much cream of tartar as soda. French
toast, always favorite dish with chill
dren, can be made of thin slices cut
from stale loaf and moistened in
milk and eggs-two eggs to q pint of
milk-and then fried on a griddle with
a mixture of butter and lard or butter
and beef drippings, and may be eaten
with sugar or syrup, like griddle-
cakes. Pieces of bread which are not
too hard can be made into resem-
blance of turkey dressing. Cut the
bread into dice, and if you have a
quantity Of gravy from which fat can
be taken, left from any kind of roast
though piece of butter will do as
we'll thoroughly grease the bottom Of
a spider, put in the bread, with some
little chunks of butter and plenty of
seasoning; then pour enough boiling
water on to moisten it, cover tightly,
and, in a moment, it will steam
through and you can stir it, and either
brown little or have it most like dress
ing. 1t should be eaten with gravy
over it, and is a good substitute for po-
tatoes. The little dry, hard pieces
and crusts which always accumulate
can be put on pie-tin in an oven that
is hot enough to dry and make them a
light brown, then roll them fine and
put away to use in making crOquettes,
frying fish, etc. Even these slightly
Drowned crumbs make excellent grid
die cakes with the addition of one egg
and handful of flour and milk to a
batter. Stale bread may be utilized in
making a custard pudding also. The
fact is, that where economy is the rule
bread will not be thrown away.

Christian Neighbor.
BY REV. SIDI III. BROWNE,
OF the South Carolina Conference
Elattcry.

Why should not editors-editors of re-
ligious journals in particuiar-ottcnel
make extracts from the Bible? Such
reading would, at the least, be appropri-
ate and instructive rs much that is found
in religious journals, and as ners, moth
ing would be more strange and new to
many newspaper readers than extracts
from the Book of books. And not a few
learned editors might occasionally STUN
BILE on passages of scripture which would
be new even to them, and profitable as
we'll.
CoMpLIMENTs.-Itw would make mighty
interesting reading if the editorial com
pliments sometimes published in reli-
gious papers could be printed in parallel
columns with the private opinions express
ed by the editors OH the same subject. II
those who peruse complimentary allu-
sions and neatly turned words of COM
mendation, could know Just what the
editor believed in his own heart, or what
he expressed with his lips among his
intimate friends, it would be sudden
revelation to some of the liable speakers" ="
eloquent pastors" successful ministers"
and "beloved brethren" whose names APP
pear before the public in connection with
mplimentary tributes.
1t has doubtless been noticed by careful
readers that in reporting matters OF pub
lie interest, the eloquent" "able," sue
cessful," "beloved," and "highly esteem
ed' brethren are not necessarily those
possessed of the greatest ability, or the
most extended usefulness, but they are
those who can be relied upon to stand by
the persons who compliment them on all
occasions; vote as they say, and be ready
to follow their leaders, without much re-
gard to which way they go or where they
stop.-INc Christian.
To the above extract we append the fol-
lowing passages from the Bible: He that
walketh uprightly, and worketh right
eousness, and speaketh the truth in his
heart. Psa. xv:2.
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying
lips and from a deceitlul tongue. Psa.
cxx:2.
Lie not against the truth. James iii:l4.
They flatter with their tongues. Psa.
WIG.
Nevertheless they did flatter him with
their mouth, and they lied unto him with
their tongues. Psa. lxxviii:30.
A man that tlattereth his neighbor
spreadeth a net for his feot, Proy. xxx:
5.
Let me not, pray you, accept any
mans person; neither let me give tlatter-
ing titles unto man. For know not to
give flattering titles; IN so doing my Ma
ker would soon take me away. Proverbs
xxxii:2l, %.

A Diving Message.

A few days before DR.. McFerrin died
he called his son-in-law, the presiding
elder of Murfreesboro district, to his bed
side to receive last message to the Ten
nessee Conference. He said: "Tell them
to hold fast to our articles of belief, JUST
fication by faith, the witness Of the Spirit
and holiness of heart and life. Tell them
I forgive all who may have injured me at
any time, and ! ask forgiveness if at any
time I haye wounded brother. Evil
may have followed where evil was not
intended; if so, I ask forgiveness. !
love the Tennessee Conference. I die in
peace with them and all men, and in the
iaith of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the
love of God and in expectation Of eternal
life. Again; tell the brethren I love
every one of them" :,
To his son who has charge of a circuit
twenty miles away. and had been sum-
moned to see him die. he said: "My son,
I feel better. and you had better return
and fill your appointment tomorrow. If
while you are away, John, I should slip
off, you know where to find me-"

Private and Public Wrongs.

By MARY ELIZABETH BLAKE, OF BOSTON.
What would we think of private difficult
| ties settled upon the same principal? One
| man thinks another has wronged him in
violating the terms Of an agreement, in
marking the boundaries Of his domain, i'll
malgning him before his fellows, in
cheating him Of his Just dues, in interfer-
ing in any way with his rights Of proper
ty or person. Does he resort to fisticutls
or rcvolvers? Does he institute siege of
his neighbor's premises, or attempt the
abduction Of his nelghbor's person, or
| right himself in turn by the larceny of his
neighbours purse? No, for the sentiment
| of the world denies that any such meas
ure is proper or adequate for the balanc-
ing Of right or wrong. So far from hav-
ing in any way assisted efforts Of justice
or vindicated his cause. the second man,
no matter how just his complaint, or how
arbitrary the injury under which he
suffered, would have laid himself liable to
punishment and loss Of personal liberty,
in the interest of society and the State.
How then can the State ignore for herself
the argument which she so wisely and
logically applies to the separated interest
of her sons? Can she allow that specious
reasoning which makes the greater evil
less vicious than the smaller; and which
grades the judgement upon guilt in in
verse proportion to its magnitude? That
would be giving point to the sneer which
dubs the Impoverished stealer of a dollar
a thief. while the wealthy thief of thous-
ands is only respectable defaulter. That
would be ordaining the gallows as the
penalty for one life taken in street
brawI, and showering honor and glory as
reward for battlefields CORY with heaps of
slain, and pallid with dying lips crying to
heaven in agony. Alas and alas Is
not this just that we are doing-iust what
we must continue to do if we close our
ewes to this lurid and hideous cloud
which still hides from us the sun of right
eousness and the gospel of the Prince Of
Peace?

Personal and domestic tidiness arc

Personal and domestic tidiness are
receiving constant praises. 1t is said
of the man whose dress is habitually
seedy that he lacks some manly quail
ty, and the house which is topsy-tur-
vey is pointed to as proof that the
lady who presides in it is inefficient.
There is spiritual tidiness that needs
looking after, and alas! how many
Christians fail to care for it.
II don't see how you get so much
news into your paper" said the vii
lage clergyman to the village editor
"seeing that you have no local repor-
ter" "Oh! that's easily explained"
replied the editor. MY wife belongs
to three sewing societies in the vii
lage, and she has a most excellent
memory"
